    <description>&lt;P&gt;Users authenticated via a Dropbox Business app must provide a member_id (by the Dropbox-Select-User header, for example)&amp;nbsp;when making a User Endpoint request.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It's not clear how to fetch that member_id token. The best I can come up with is to go through `/members/list` until I can find an entry&amp;nbsp;that matches the current user.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a way of quickly finding the member_id of the authenticated user to send through for the Dropbox-Select-User header?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Which "authenticated user" do you mean, exactly? Note that Dropbox Business API apps are linked to the entire team, not a specific member, so for any given Dropbox Business API app linked to a team, there isn't exactly a specific member implied.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you mean the particular member that happened to authorize the app to connect to the team, you can look them up using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-token-get_authenticated_admin" target="_self"&gt;/2/team/token/get_authenticated_admin&lt;/A&gt;. Note that this will vary by access token though, and isn't necessarilly the current end-user of your app. It also won't necessarilly be available for every access token.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Alternatively, if you're looking for a particular member based on a known email address or external ID, you can look them up using &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/teams#team-members-get_info" target="_self"&gt;/2/team/members/get_info&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Perfect! Yes, I was looking for the authenticated admin's team member ID.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
